Thinline GuitarReplacement Bodies

This Thinline Body has the same perimeter shape as our standard Tele® body, however, it is made with 3 large tone chambers. The
resulting tone is fatter and woody with good brightness and pop. The weight is about 1/3rd less than the solid body.

We construct our Thinline a bit differently from the Fender originals. The originals had the cavities routed from the back and
therefore it had to be covered from the back. We rout from the front where we may incorporate either a plain or fancy bookmatched
top! The Lam-Top thickness is 1/4".

Optionally available without an F-Hole

When beautiful woods are used on a body, it is often desirable to cut the control cavity from the back. This way there is no
need to cover the beautiful wood with a pickguard. This is called "Rear Routing" and it allows maximum exposure of the face wood.

This larger cavity allows very near stock positioning of the 3-way switch and pot holes. Cavity depth is 1-1/2" leaving a
face thickness of 1/4". In the switch area, the thickness is 3/32".

There is no extra charge to have any or all the control holes cut in their standard positions (shown above).

All rear routed bodies are supplied with a recessed cover plate and mounting screws.
